Don't worry too much about TSA. On my most recent trip I had to go
through the standard TSA searches at T.F. Green (PVD) and Norfolk (ORF).
In one place (PVD) I was ID'd when I got the bag tags, then again at the
entrace to the x-ray and metal detectors, then once again during the x-
ray process my boarding pass was compared to ID.
At ORF they only checked my ID when I entered the secure area, all they
wanted to see when you went to the metal detector was a boarding pass.
No consistency. That is what you call a poor security system.
I may have posted this before, but here goes:
A couple of years ago (but long after 9/11) a friend of mine was going
to drive across the state for a family reunion. Unfortunately, hs car
broke down. In a panic, he called one of the airlines and booked a last
minute flight to his destination which was due to leave in a short time.
He jumped in a cab, raced to the airport and made in onto his flight at
the last minute. After arriving (with no problems en route) he
discovered that he had made it through airport security with one handgun
in his jacket and at least one more, plus ammo in carry on luggage.
So, here's a guy running through SeaTac airport, probably sweating like
a pig at this point, trying to catch a flight booked at the last minute.
And nobody sees anything.
